Decent runner game. Would be better with more variety or difficulty scaling, though.

Graphics-wise it's pretty neat; I like the animation(s) even though it's 2-frame. What I didn't like where that a lot of the time, some of the obstacles seemed pretty unfair/unavoidable. Some sound would really have helped, and it might be easier to make something than you think, with tools like [this](https://www.bfxr.net/).
**NOTE:** You've not rated any other games yet. If you want to receive a score/ranking at the end or just want to get some feedback, you'll want to be rated by other people. To get their attention, then you should play and rate other games, so either you'll be noticed (higher up) in the list(s), or (if you've commented) sometimes people directly play/comment/rate yours 'back'.
@remco Thanks for feedback! There are some updates coming up soon. Hope it will make this game more playable. I'm going to review other games soon, thanks for information! It's my first LD :)
@artem-ravbetsky Good luck! This late in the process it's a bit(/a lot?) harder to get enough ratings, so you may have to promote yourself on the main page maybe (although don't overdo it) :slight_smile:
Also: please keep the original submission around if you change things that aren't game-breaking bugs (per [the rules](/events/ludum-dare/rules)), and even then, it's probably a good idea to specify any fixes you make on the entry-page.
I like the graphics, really cool cobras. To get more ratings, i would advise to rate more games to get better karma. Cool game, although not really related to the theme. So much better than the dinosaur game from google chrome.
This is a okay little running/jumping game, but for me it gets too difficult too fast. I would also have liked some music and/or some sound effects. Overall a fine LD game.
Pretty good little runner! I liked the graphics a lot. I did feel though that sometimes the obstacles were unfairly unavoidable.
Random generation could need some balance, and a little more variety of obstacles would be funniest and more challenging, but the game is playable, and works as well as expected for a simple and classic runner. :)

@sirpumpy Thanks a lot!
Fun game. Be carefull with random generation because some jumps are impossible to make without being punished.
Funny little runner, the balance between hunger and poison makes it more challenging and fun. Sometimes randomness makes it a but frustrating :p I scored 47 before ragequit :) The game over when hitting the walls is a bit brutal, maybe a smal feedback when scoring/dying could be appreiable. About visuals I would suggest to keep the same pixel ratio between sprites :) good work, cheers !
@knarf Awesome! You correctly noticed the main idea - balance between hunger and poison! And thanks everyone, I'll get ratings to all of you when I'll come home.
